A former 26th-round pick by the Orioles, Davies went to high school in Arizona.A Washington state native, Davies was traded by the Orioles to the Brewers last year at the trade deadline for outfielder Gerardo Parra. He made his big league debut last year with six starts with the Brewers.Davies comes into the game with a record of 5-4 and an ERA of 4.22. He is coming off a start where he went 4 1/3 innings and allowed six earned runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers.Davies has only one prior start against the Nationals, where he earned a no-decision on June 24. In that start, he went five innings and allowed three earned runs on seven hits. The Brewers are 7-7 in games that Davies has started.It will be hard for Davies to top the outing on Monday by Junior Guerra, who went 7 1/3 innings and allowed no runs and two hits in a 1-0 win over the Nationals.It feels like he keeps getting better, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. In the big spots, he seems to step up even more.dddddddddddd He really competing out there. Its been fun to watch.

Gonzalez is 2-2 in six starts all time against the Brewers. The Nationals are 6-10 this season when the veteran lefty takes the mound.Gonzalez has a spot in the rotation for now after right-hander Joe Ross went on the disabled list Sunday. That means rookie Lucas Giolito, who made his big league debut Tuesday, will stay in the rotation along with Stephen Strasburg, Tanner Roark and Max Scherzer.The Nationals have six games left before the All-Star break.We would like to finish strong, manager Dusty Baker said Monday.
